Ethicon K872H Coated VICRYL® (Polyglactin 910) Suture | Size 2-0 | Synthetic Absorbable Braided | 30 in (75 cm) | CT-1 Taper Point Needle (1/2 Circle, 36 mm) | Undyed Braided | Box of 36 | Sterile | New

The Ethicon K872H Coated VICRYL® Suture is a versatile synthetic absorbable braided suture engineered for smooth tissue passage, secure knot security, and exceptional handling characteristics. Composed of a copolymer of 90% glycolide and 10% L-lactide (Polyglactin 910), this size 2-0 undyed strand is coated with a mixture of equal parts Polycaprolate and Calcium Stearate to minimize drag and reduce tissue trauma during placement. Fitted with a robust CT-1 taper point needle (36 mm, 1/2 circle), it provides reliable penetration through soft tissues without cutting tissue fibers. Ideal for surgical skills simulation labs, medical training facilities, and clinical equipment evaluations.
